With only drummer Philip Selway and guitarist Ed O & # 39; Brien, Radiohead did not play; there was a question of whether any of them would arise given the group's past ambivalence about the room. But both men highly appreciated this honor.

"It's such a surreal evening for us," says O & # 39; Brien. "It's a big problem (expletive) and it feels like that. … I wish others could be here because they would feel it."

Simon Good and John Taylor of Duran Duran inducted them. Taylor said that hearing Roxy Music in concert at age 14 had shown him what he wanted to do with his life.

"Without Roxy Music, there really would not be Duran Duran," he said.

The sweet-voiced ferry thanked everyone from a succession of bassists and record designers. "We would like to thank everyone for this unexpected honor," he said.

The Zombies, stemming from the first British invasion of rock 'n' roll, were the veterans of the night. They succeeded despite the past, but they were grateful to Rock Hall. They played hits "The time of the season," & # 39; & # 39; Tell him no" and "She is not here."
